Let's Roll Out, Mate! [BOOK 1]

CHAPTER 48: NOT FOUR KEYS, SIX!

A/N: Hi again, readers. Before you begin, I want to let you all know something else. If you have watched the actual original TFP, you would know that the Autobots only discovered about the Omega Keys and Omega lock after obtaining the Star Sabre. In my fanfic, it goes differently. They discovered about the existence of the Omega Keys after getting the Forge of Solus Prime. Well, before Megatron swooped in and took it that is. However, back then the message only included four keys and not the Omega Lock.

But that's about to change. Hope you enjoy the story! Ciao!

"I am receiving a message." Optimus finally spoke.

At that, the Autobots crowded around him and even Miko, Jack, Raf and Evelyn went down to stand by their respective guardian's pedes.

"From who?" Ratchet asked.

Optimus's optic ridges furrowed a bit before his optics widened in surprise. "Alpha Trion." He said.

Silence........then it was shattered.

"WHAT?!" every bot and human alike said.

Meanwhile on the Nemesis......

Dreadwing has always known that time is unpredictable. One moment, things seem so mundane and it's as if the world was moving in slow motion; the next, a chain of events occur.

Like Optimus Prime obtaining the legendary Star Sabre and Megatron retreating. For once, Dreadwing realized that Megatron was afraid....not that he would admit it.

Then again, every Decepticon was worried. Who wouldn't be if your arch-nemesis now wielded one of the most powerful weapons in their race.

He had just landed back on the Nemesis after going on a recon mission around the globe, checking on the energon mines when he received the news.

Now, he stood behind Megatron.

"Forgive me, Lord Megatron. I do not question the wisdom of our tactical retreat. Know that I am fully prepared to lead the troops in a counterattack against the Autobots." He said.

"Counterattack?" Megatron scoffed. "Perhaps you failed to notice Optimus Prime cleaved an entire mountain with a single blow." He pointed towards the screen and the footage of Optimus doing said feat replayed itself.

Dreadwing's face remained stoic as he was trained but deep inside, he was as shocked and admittedly afraid as his leader. If the Star Sabre could cut a mountain in half and damage the Nemesis in a single blow, who knows what it could do to a con.

"With the Star Sabre in his possession, my enemy can obliterate us all with a wave of his hand! I must find a way to tip the balance of power back in our favor." Megatron said.

"Do we not also possess a powerful relic of the ancients?" Dreadwing pointed out.

"Indeed, the Forge of Solus Prime. But it is useless, except in the hand of a Prime." Megatron said. Until an idea came to mind. 'Wait, a hand of a Prime...what if I had just that?'

The longer he thought about it, the more he realized he could wield the power of the forge after all. He began to laugh to himself manically. Deep down, Dreadwing had to admit that sometimes he found it a tad bit worrisome when he sees his leader like this.

"But I might wield that power, if I were to control such a hand." Megatron said.

Time never makes things dull for long.
